- For those waiting for you and my presents, back home My budget for the gifts will be around 250$ for me and my familyFor my friends and family:-Tea from Japan for my parents-Japanese chopstick for my parents-Hand fans for my friends (4) – obviously it won’t be the more expensive one’s

For me:-Kymono

-Kokeshi dolls

- Other expensesI will probably buy more stuff for me, like clothes or decorations, when I will go shopping. Generally, I don’t buy for more than 100$, and I will certainly respect that budget.

When you return

- Airport tax: http://www.iatatravelcentre.com/JP-Japan-customs-currency-airport-tax-regulations-summary.htm

- Food on the plane or when waiting in the airportFood is included on the plane, but I would probably eat a little snack before at the airport

- Duty free shoppingI never buy anything in duty free shopping, so it won’t cost me something.

Present all your expenses as a table at the end of the paper. Do the math in there.
